Hello all :)

I found this forum accidentally while looking up a phrase I had no clue about. I grew up in India as a missionary kid, and now I'm living in Oregon. I haven't been diagnosed as autistic, but a lot of times I just don't "get it" in social things. I took a couple of free tests that scored me well into autistic territory.

This looks like a fun site.

Andy, have I met you at the Asperger's Support group lead by Roger, uh..., Roger... aaargh! Roger Somebody that meets on Sunday at the Methodist church on Start in Portland?
We're going to watch a movie this next meeting. If Roger can caption it, I look forward to seeing it. If he can't, I guess I'll have a Sunday afternoon nap.
